September RS Presidency Message



SEPTEMBER'S THEME
"I am a teacher, a convert.  I share my testimony with others."

Monthly Goal:
Share your conversion story with others.
For our last month focusing on "I am a Member Missionary", we remember that we are all teachers.  Our own personal experiences and conversion  are the best tools we have to share the gospel.  By sharing our testimony, others will feel of the Spirit and understand our love for Jesus Christ, the Gospel, and the Book of Mormon.   We can teach others  by answering their questions, bearing testimony, and helping them understand what it means to feel of God's love.

We are not only all teachers, but we are also all converts.  Whether we were born and raised in the Church or we found it later in our lives.  At some point, we all gained our own personal testimony of the truthfulness of this Gospel.   Your conversion story is yours and yours alone.   By sharing it, you'll make a great impact in the conversion process of another seeking out answers.

There are several ways we can share our conversion story.  For the technically savvy, we ask you to create a profile on mormon.org.   It is a website created by the Church to introduce Mormons to the world.  You can share your testimony, answer questions, and pass on accurate information to investigators. 

If you do not use the Internet, you can create your own profile in writing and pass it on to family or friends.  Or record it for your own posterity in your journal.  And of course, the best way to share your conversion story is by sitting down with someone, face to face, and testifying of your faith.

We encourage you to take part in this month's goal.  When you have done this, please come to the Relief Society room and add a jewel to our "Who We Are" jar.
